The planchette...

Cajole me in the right frame of mind

Personal issues but because of the
Morbid, abstract canvas of life

Groups of so-called righteous men
Drop indiscriminate bombs
On fellow humans...

Not to mention how it sounds
like a popping fist and fireworks,
though I wouldn’t dare suggest
I’ve ever blown things up
just for grins and giggles.
It’s cousin to praeteritio,
kissing cousin to paralepsis—

Like an intricate mosaic with just one missing tile.
You know something is wrong and has been for a while.

Savvy scientists scoff at the soul:

And tractor drivers but that's not...
